Driver Airlifted to Hospital After Multi-Car Accident
It is the right of all Texas motorists to reasonably expect that other drivers sharing the road will remain alert and cautious behind the wheels of their vehicles. When a motorist becomes distracted or is otherwise negligent, it can lead to a car accident that might result in personal injury to one or more persons. In a recent case, three cars were involved in a collision at a traffic light.
Police responded to the accident that occurred at approximately 10 p.m. on a recent Monday in Houston. It appears that several vehicles were stopped at a red light when the crash occurred. Apparently, an approaching vehicle’s driver failed to notice that the other cars were not moving and rammed into the rear of the vehicle in front of hers.
Upon impact, that vehicle that was struck then crashed into the one in front of it at the traffic light. Reports indicate that the driver of the vehicle that allegedly caused the accident never applied her breaks before crashing into the other car. The driver of the car that was struck suffered injuries and was taken to an area hospital for treatment. The driver of the vehicle that seems to have caused the chain-reaction accident was airlifted to a hospital for emergency care.
Negligent Drivers can be held Financially Accountable
When a victim of a Texas car accident suffers injuries caused by another motorist’s negligence, he or she is able to seek compensation for damages by filing a legal claim in a civil court. In a successfully litigated case, any monies provided through a compensatory award can be used to absorb some of the medical bills and other economic losses incurred due to the accident. The first logical step to take when considering filing a claim would be to contact a legal professional in the area who has experience in motor vehicle accident cases.
